Configure account-locking settings

When you add a domain, specify whether to enable account
locking. When the Enable Account Locking option is selected, user
accounts are locked after a specified number of consecutive authentication
failures. After a specified length of time, the user can attempt
to authenticate again. This feature prevents users from trying various
credential combinations to access the system.

Use settings on the Domain Management page to specify the maximum
number of authentication failures and the length of time that accounts
are locked. These settings apply to all domains that have account
locking enabled.

In the Maximum Consecutive Authentication Failures box, enter
the number of consecutive times a user can unsuccessfully attempt
to log in before their account is locked. The default value is 20.

In the Unlock The Account After (Minutes) box, enter the
number of minutes that the user account is locked. After the specified
number of minutes, the user can attempt to log in again. The default
value is 30.
